Another Handpainted Jewelry Box

As I mentioned before, I have been working on new jewelry boxes with a turtle pattern.  They are finished!  I have made two and they are now in the shop.

I carved a turtle shape eraser for this one.  Other than that, my technique was pretty similar to my owl box.

I do have a confession; my colors and turtle design were inspired by a sorority at my college.  There was a sorority called Delta Zeta whose colors were pink and green and their symbol was a turtle.  Although I was in a different sorority, Zeta Tau Alpha, I always liked the DZ's color combo (are you shocked that I was in a sorority?  most people are.)
